I don't think it is
that important
if you hunt the wind religiously. If you don't even think about going out to a stand because the wind isn't perfect for that stand, then I don't think that scent control is that important. However, there are soooo many variables in this equation that if Einstein was a hunter, he'd still be scratchin his head
So my final verdict on scent control reads something like this. Play the wind perfect - not
necessary, But why chance it. If the wind isn't 100% perfect (which it rarely is for most people, most of the time) then why risk going in "naked", so to speak. This is why I will do my best to hunt both scent free as I can and the wind as well.
